Today is Umika's birthday!
Open her mouth and out comes festival talk: which festival happens where and when, what its origins are, what kind of goods they'll be selling. All of it, unprompted. Sometimes you have to gently remind her that silence is golden, too.
Maybe it's growing up in the countryside, but no one loves that moment more than she does, the one where people gather, the lights come on, and everything gets loud and lively. The real reason she loves festivals is that crowd, that "everyone together" feeling, and somewhere deep down, she knows it better than anyone.
So today, don't cut her endless festival talk short. Listen all the way to the end. After all, today, Umika is the guest of honor.
